Thread to note supply shortages in the shops

[danny la rouge]

Eggs are well-known. But there are other shortages from time to time. A few months back it was own brand washing up liquid, which knocked-on to the branded ones.

At the moment I’m finding it impossible to source lemon marmalade.

The shelves often have gaps now. Which have you noticed?

The most noticeable shortage I have noticed is that it has been impossible to get lettuce for ages around here

What about truss?

Was just ordering an online shop. Lots of their tinned soups seem to be out of stock (I like having some in the house, just in case). Also fresh spinach.

(Not really a shortage shortage as sure I can get them in a proper shop round here easily enough.)

It took me ages to understand this probably almost as long as Kwasi was Chancellor

Australia? Everyone I know there has been complaining about it for ages, but weirdly there is now an excess of mangos?

Thats, unexpected, then again I am in Cornwall surrounded by a bunch of farmers.

Yup, all there is in the Midlands is heavy metal bands. Not much lettuce coming from that direction.

Diaorylte and supermarkets own brand rehydration powders. The former sporadically available at Boots, but Asda hasn't had either all year.

Mitchum deodorant, in particular the unscented one had been very difficult to get

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

my usual espresso from Lidl has been mostly unavailable for the last few months.

is that right! I was vaguely looking and hadn't seen any, but didn't realise it was an actual shortage

You're wrong there. What about Lettuce Zeppelin and also Slade singing Cos I Love You

 

[danny la rouge]

Cos I Love You

Well done! Also, great song.

aldi seems to have run out of evaporated milk-also hard to find Pea and Ham soup.

 

[danny la rouge]

also hard to find Pea and Ham soup.

Have you tried making it from a chicken?

Derailing the thread slightly, Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade is second only to I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday by Wizzard in the crimes against humanity stakes.

 

[ouirdeaux]

Sir, there is no settling the point of precedency between a louse and a flea..

 

[Sue]

Have you tried making it from a chicken?

Not sure if that was a UK-wide thing...

It's all evaporated.

 

[TopCat]

No eggs at all in Lidl.

there's quite a few you can't get at the moment - quite a few are / were made in russia...

 

[andysays]

The stohlen I was hoping to enjoy as part of my Sainsbury's delivery this afternoon are apparently unavailable and will be replaced by Ecclefechan tarts

Is it a plot? Spray under your arms and drop dead within 90 seconds from some mysterious reaction.
